John Stanton & The Stanton Family Trust acquired big chunk of Clearwire Corp. (Nasdaq: CLWR) stock on open market transactions from August 12th to August 16th. Immediately after these transactions Bloomberg released report where based on unnamed sources, Sprint (NYSE: S) is in talks with Clearwire’s other investors, including Comcast, about an investment plan in which it would purchase the equity stakes and essentially take control of Clearwire.

“In our view, Sprint is hedging its bets,” wrote Jamie Townsend with TownHall Investment Research in a research note on the news. “While we continue to believe that LightSquared will find a political/financial solution to its GPS problems, we also suspect that these new rumors of talks by Sprint are a reflection of efforts by the company to hedge its bets in case the LightSquared situation cannot be resolved.”

So far we’re banking from our CLWR entry on August at $1.82 with gain of over 65%.
